After hearing this, Si Jingyu lifted her head to look at him.
Yao Teng continued, "I've asked before… The people at the front desk who talked to you were all villains, but you still went along with them because you were hoping that they were child traffickers and you'd then be able to locate the child through them, right?"
Her throat suddenly choking, Si Jingyu was silenced by this.
Yao Teng spoke further. "Jingyu, you were so intelligent in the past, and you were always able to see things clearly. But why are you now so silly? You knew that they were frauds, so why did you follow them? Legends about deserted islands are even more preposterous, you…"
As he spoke up 'til here, he saw Si Jingyu's eyes reddening. He abruptly stopped in his tracks, the words he wanted to continue saying now stuck in his throat.
Then, he saw large drops of tears fall from Si Jingyu's eyes.
